HIGH SCHOOL AND BEYOND PLAN
WHAT IS IT?
GRADUATION REQUIREMENT:
The High School and Beyond Plan is a state and district graduation requirement. Students must detail their plans for meeting high school graduation requirements and their plans for the first year following high school completion. The plan is intended to help students identify post-secondary paths such as education, military, travel and work by thinking about their future and providing motivation for their work in high school.

SOCIAL JUSTICE
How to talk to your kids about racism
Many parents are unsure how to talk to their children about racism, discrimination and civil unrest. At the high school level, many students have started to share their own views about racism, protests and societal inequalities. Some might be compelled to participate in activism and be more outspoken about their feelings. We encourage parents to allow your children to feel comfortable about asking questions. Continue to check in with them about what they’ve seen or heard from friends or on social media and discuss how they are feeling. We’ve shared some additional resources below, to assist parents in starting this discussion.
